Meal Deals - Lunch and Breakfast
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, however with busier lifestyles and the emergence of more food outlets offering breakfast more and more of us are leaving the house without having any.
As a result, many bakeries have realised that by implementing a deal on breakfast and lunch, they can attract more customers and make more money.
Whether it's a coffee and a muffin or a sandwich, crisps and drink combo, more and more people are realising the benefits of such deals and saving money in the progress.
Amongst all of the outlets offering meal deals, some of the market leaders in the breakfast and lunchtime deals have been high street bakers, who are packaging together sandwiches, crisps, cakes, fruit and snacks for often under £2.
Meal deals are perfect for those who don't make a packed lunch or leave the house without breakfast, simply for convenience's sake.
Even the biggest names in the fast food industry have their own deals in a bid attract customers despite soaring profits.
Savings and convenience have proven to be a major success and these chains are reportedly making large profits despite the economy struggling after the recession.
But what about restaurants? Sure, bakeries, supermarkets and fast food choices are the more obvious choice for a quick lunch, but pubs and cafés are still popular, and offer their own unique deals as well.
Even independent restaurants and pubs have seen the advantage, offering vouchers, deals and offers in order to attract new customers and, hopefully, see some return service.
The increase in social media has increased the visibility of these type of offers.
However some do argue that the independent pubs are losing out to the larger chains who, due to economies of scale, are able to offer larger discounts on meals.
According to MoneySaving Expert, over 80% of us spend just under £75 on lunch each week, so it makes sense to save money where we can.
However it seems it has never been a better time to be a consumer with everyone from street vendors, bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes competing for our service.
While some may argue that taking a packed lunch to work every day saves even more money, it seems that with some of the low prices available for meal deals, it almost makes sense to buy your lunch rather than make it.
